Further, the range of the Western Bristlebird is very restricted near the southwest corner of Australia, just as is the range of the endangered Noisy Scrub-bird Atrichornis clamosus.

Western Whipbird, Western Bristlebird and Noisy Scrub-bird so that you know what and where to look for them. However, the playing of tapes to attract birds at Two People's Bay is off limits as it makes it harder for censuses and other scientific studies to be taken of the threatened species. If you really want to see the three species, then I strongly recommend a tour with Simon Nevill of Falcon Tours. More

to see the Western Bristlebird in the top of a very low bush or in the base of a mallee tree. They tend to call in bursts about 10 minutes or so apart so you need to be very patient.
